Please Remember My Name

[Cool, aloof guy x Tsundere girl] [Unrequited love becomes mutual / Campus]

From the first day of school, Xiao Yiheng became the talk of the campus. He was aloof and free-spirited, with handsome, refined features and an extraordinary presence.

Jiang Miaotong was his classmate. She had secretly loved him for three years and tried every way she could to get close to him, yet she could count on one hand the number of times she'd actually spoken to him.

At the graduation dinner after the college entrance exams, Jiang Miaotong had a little too much to drink. At her friends' urging, she decided to boldly confess her feelings.

She gathered her courage and walked over, calling to him softly, "Xiao Yiheng, there's something I have to tell you."

Xiao Yiheng looked at her for a moment, then asked calmly, with a question she never expected: "What... is your name?"

That is, until the summer of her junior year in college, when she went to Beiyang to intern at a game company. At a company outing, she heard that the boss's nephew would be joining them.

According to her coworker, the nephew was unmarried and childless, young, rich, and ridiculously handsome.

At the resort, a friendly coworker pointed him out. Jiang Miaotong saw a familiar, striking face.

Xiao Yiheng.

Jiang Miaotong was about to keep her distance when she ran right into Xiao Yiheng halfway there.

Hoping that after all these years he wouldn't remember her, she turned and smiled politely at him. "Hello, I..."

Xiao Yiheng stared at her for two seconds, then suddenly smiled and drawled, "Long time no see."

"Aren't you Jiang Miaotong, my grandpa?"

"…"
